Description
The Museum of the History of Riga and Navigation was founded on Nikolaus von Himsel's private collection in 1773. Now it is considered to be one of the oldest museums in Europe. The museum is located within the walls of the Dom ensemble, which is the architectural monument dating back to the 13th century.     The exhibitions of the museum reflect the history of Riga from ancient times to this very day. In the first halls of the museum you'll find original objects made by ancient inhabitants of Latvia. These articles include flint tools, arms, coins, adornments and much more. The exhibition also comprises about four hundred original objects that include parts of ships and tackle, navigation instruments, seascapes and maps, tools for building sailing ships, textbooks and reports of naval students, teaching aids of naval schools, personal effects of seamen, souvenirs, and much more. Numerous ship models are of great value.
